Notes

  • Dolores gives information on her children in her letter to her great-grandfather Joseph Asa Jenkins.  In a photo taken 1 Feb 1957, ages of the oldest child, Andrea Rose Frank, is given as age 9. I have estimated time of marriage by adding a year to that age, allowing for about 10 years for marriage, depending on date of marriage and date of birth of Andrea.

    A marriage license was found for Bess when she was age 19, to marry Wayne Dodd, in Idaho in 1946.
